Ticket #23740 (new defect)

Opened 3 years ago

whois is very slow or times out on .net domains

Reported by: vinc17@… Owned by: ryandesign@…

Component: ports Version: 1.8.2

Port: whois

Description

"whois vinc17.net" or "whois nerim.net" is very slow (about one minute) and can even times out. There's no such problem from the same network under Debian.

According to the source, whois.crsnic.net is used for .net domains. So, to be sure, I've checked with

whois -h whois.crsnic.net nerim.net

but while it still works under Debian, it still times out under Mac OS X.

Note: my machine is a Mac OS X 10.4.11 / PowerPC.
